Event: DVOA Springton Manor
5 PM
Orienteering race 23:13 ** 2.93 km (7:56 / km) +47m 7:20 / km
ahr:132 max:153 spiked:11/14c shoes: VJ Falcons 9
Short Sprint at Springton Manor (2.0k straightline). Major error on 3 mostly trying to figure out the trails which were in need of mowing. Confused on the way to 7 by a rerouted trail which intersected the trail I was on much further along than mapped. Did a 180 out of 10 but caught it fairly quickly. Probably about 6 minutes lost - certainly not a very good performance. Overcast, low 70s with everything pretty wet from previous showers.
6 PM
Orienteering race 25:28 *** 3.04 km (8:22 / km) +41m 7:51 / km
ahr:144 max:158 spiked:19/20c shoes: VJ Falcons 9
Long Sprint at Springton Manor (2.5k straightline). More challenging navigationally than the Short with some controls in the woods. A much better run with the only real error a route choice from 16-17. Had the same leg on the Short sprint so decided to try a different route which unfortunately went through some woods which were pretty crappy, so it was a slower route. Was about a minute slower than on the first try. Thanks to Nate and Steve O and Sandy F for organizing.

Run for the Ages trail race at Nolde Environmental Center. An age-graded race with handicap based on age and gender. I got a 17 minute head start over the 20-29 yo guys and started 13 minutes behind the 70+ women. Nominally a 10k but the Garmin measured it a little short. Hilly but only one steep one (right at the end and that’s also a bushwhack through some woods). Trails are fairly tame ranging from wide single track to gravel road (and some pavement for the first quarter mile or so). Temperature in the 70s but quite humid.
Ran pretty well given the high humidity. Power walked lots of the uphills. Finished 29th overall out of ~188. First M65-69 of about 6 (one advantage of the handicapped start is that you know your age-group competition since you all start together). One 70+ ringer also started with us and finished a minute or two ahead of me. There was another 70+ super-ringer (sub-3-hour marathon as a 70+) who started even later, so he didn’t win the race overall again. I think I passed about 12 of the ~15 who started ahead of me but obviously got passed by ~25 of those starting later. Interesting format and a very well organized race.
